Sometimes, and due to special circumstances, the foreign property buyer cannot personally come to receive their apartment in Turkey, so we, at Diamond Key Real Estate, receive the apartment on behalf of the owner. We also make sure that the property conforms to the specifications upon which the purchase contract was signed with the construction company, and we make corrections if necessary. The apartment number, area, and all the details that have been agreed upon in the contract are verified, and we also receive the title deed (tapu) and send it to the customer directly. From a legal point of view, one of our team members is granted a power of attorney that includes the tasks that he must perform on behalf of the property owner.
There are many details related to property tax in Turkey that are absent from the minds of foreign property owners. One of the most important of these details is to extract a statement from the municipality to which the property belongs, from the date of obtaining the title deed. Our team extracts this statement on your behalf. After obtaining the statement, we calculate the taxes and debts accumulated on the property, submit a statement to the customer, and then pay them on his behalf. We also inform the complex management when the ownership of the property is transferred, so that the service charges on the property can be calculated from that moment. As for the importance of this service, it lies in avoiding the accumulation of taxes and benefits for non-payment in a timely manner.
Diamond Key Real Estate team represents the property owner in the rental and resale process through a power of attorney that authorizes us to carry out the tasks related to these services. We sign a contract with the owner of the property that includes the conditions for running the property for a specific period in exchange for an agreed fee for this service. We rent the apartment according to conditions set by the property owner. We also provide a resale service, and foreign property owners in Istanbul who wish to sell their properties benefit from this service. Upon completion of the sale, the amount of the property is transferred directly to the owner’s account by the buyer.
